Any president can place who they want at the head of the alphabet agencies. If you place the right people, they can place like-minded people under them, and if you make it hard to fire the employees, you have created what is known as the "deep state." Career federal employees who were placed into positions of power and have a political motive. However, during WWII, the "Special Group" was created, which was known by other names. At the head of that group is the president, and he gives the go-ahead on covert action.
